Dark plastics exposed to the sun for a long time tend to fade, sometimes quite badly, like those on the Ford Expedition in the video. Our YouTuber suggests how to restore the plastics, making sure to mask the bodywork in the exposed areas, as well as the running boards, which were not in better condition.

He suggests two methods. The first is with a paste, and the second with a paint.

The paint requires more skill - although it is quicker - because it can leave unsightly drips that may worsen the situation instead of improving it. The paste is a slower and more labor-intensive method, but definitely safer and longer-lasting. You can find both types of treatment on Amazon, for example, with prices ranging from $10 to $27, depending on the quantity and quality of the product.
